Was my advice good?

My answer:
Dude
I am not really the person you should be talking to - you say you feel suicidal - how can I help? I still occassionally feel suicidal but the worst of my depression and anxiety is gone.
Try inositol at between 4g-20g a day - on it's own for 2 days. If you notice no improvement day 1, increase the dose from 4g to 8g day 2. If you notice nothing at day 2 - you will not respond to inositol.
Also buy some 5HTP. Take just 50mg per day before bed.
Start dealing with the things that are making you unhappy. One at a time. Is it work (or lack of)? A girl? Your confidence? Steroids are most definately not the answer to most depressions. Do you have a libido? Are your muslces hardish even when natural (no steroids)? If yes to both these questions - you are unlikely to have low test levels. However, depression and anxiety is not going to be conducive to high test levels. Low test levels may be a result but not a cause of your depression and anxiety.
Steroids are for 12 weeks a year max (3 x 4 weeks, or say 2 x 6 or 1 x 12). Many of the guys on elite do much more. But you take them to increase muscle not alleviate depression. Unless you have low test levels (a doc can do a test if you ask) you are asking for trub. Why? Because maybe they will alleviate depression for you.. through many direct and indirect mechanisms (increased dopamine etc). But you cannot stay on roids forever PLUS I gaurantee that you will feel fucking awful when you come off. Clomid therapy gives many (most) people depression. You are not in the right frame of mind to handle post-cycle depression. Best work on more natural treatments for now. I strongly suggest you talk to a good friend. I don't know what else to suggest. Write again if you feel the need.
